It wasnt all negative. Positive parts are quoted all over this thread. And if any former player or coach had positive things to say, Dunne would have included them as he did for Smith and DiMarco. Problem with trying to include current players is, what else CAN they say? Even if they dont like McD. It's even more inauthentic than talking to disgruntled former employees.

The Chiefs have a top rated D and most of that is due to their DLine. Sometimes we have to play against other good players and they play well. Diggs, WRs, and the OLine are fine. We played a good team in their house in a tough game.

This. Downfield, and/or long developing crossing routes. Josh didnt have the time in the pocket to let those types of routes develop tonight. He had 2 seconds and then was running for his life. Or on some plays they let the DL right through on the snap. Also partly why so many throws went to RBs.

Improvised. Kelce does it all the time.

Glad someone started a thread on this. It's ridiculous and I'd like to see him cut asap if he wasnt so needed. Earlier in the season I thought Rapp could step in for 1 of our 2 replacements next year. Now, I dont want him anywhere near our team.

Did any of our WRs shine tonight? Or does KC have a good defense that took our WRs away? Seems like a weird night for the offense who still found a way to get it done enough.

He just needed that last bit of contact practice this week to finally get back into game shape! (too soon? probably should go there)

The bad news is he took another couple of suplexes tonight too. With no flags. I dont get why the refs just let Digs get interfered with and mugged up and down the field, and then when he does make a catch the defense can just slam him around how ever they want. It's maddening.

No he isnt done, and no our OL isnt horrible all of a sudden. Newsflash for anyone who hasnt been following the NFL: THE CHIEFS, especially their defense, ARE A REALLY GOOD TEAM everyone R-E-L-A-X

It's so beautiful that it happened against the Bills so Mahomes is juxtaposed with Josh. Josh has been taking a TON of heat from fans online. They claim he's a big whiny baby, and is always crying to the refs for a call (and sometimes that is very true). But now, after seeing this, the online tide has turned and folks are realizing Mahomes is the biggest baby, he just usually gets the calls and doesnt have to cry. Yeah, if you think about it as $14M spread across both Knox and Kincaid, it isnt too bad.

It costs us more to cut Knox than to keep him next year. Kincaid should be moved to #1 TE, but Knox should be kept in case of injuries. At least next year. 2025 is a different story.

Guess who is the main player opposing defenses focus on taking away at all costs? And then make it a top ranked Defense with great corners. He'll be fine.

Kelce has been doing this for a while and has been getting a ton of press over it this year. It's like his thing. Even more so in big games and/or when the game is on the line. In the 1st quarter I turned to my wife and said "We better have guys trailing Kelce because he will try to lateral it at some point." Apparently I had my players better prepared.

As someone tangent to the industry, I blame this on CBS.

He's definitely projecting when all his anger really should be directed at the Chiefs WR room.

Live clip of Chiefs postgame presser:

Enjoy it all you want. Participate in the surrounding discussions accordingly.

We were "lucky" Toney is such a dummy. And apparently, to hear it from Mahomes about the warnings they usually get, we were lucky the refs actually called it correctly. Floyd is all player execution. He's a real one.

KC was out of time outs, so McD could kneel it down and go to OT there. Like I said, good for McD and the boys. They needed this psychologically. Even if McD isnt back next year, this would be an even deeper mental hole for Josh and Co. to dig out of next year.

Who was resilient exactly? Benford as he got beat by Kelce? Rapp after taking a horrible angle and missing the tackle on Kelce? Or Cam Lewis who left Toney open just to watch the pitch sail by him as he collapsed into a pile on himself? I dont mean to call out individual players when it's accurate to just say "McD's weak-minded team was about to let another one slip away in classic fashion but the other team screwed up worse"

Apparently it's also a rare call because, according to Mahomes, the refs warn the Chiefs about it and give them multiple chances before they throw the flag. I guess Patty is upset they didnt get that usual royal treatment.

How is KC getting called for offensive Offside being resilient? Lucky is watching the game be won on a crazy play no one was ready for even tho Kelce is infamous for his weird laterals, just to have it cancelled out because a WR lined up a foot to far. Nothing the Bills did there won the game for us. The defense didnt get the stop. They watched them score and win the game. KC beat themselves.

That KC DL is very good, with a Hall of Famer in the middle. Both OLs struggled today. It was that type of game. We still have a good OL. Just sometimes the DLs show up to play too.

As a McD detractor who doesnt want him as our HC, I say "Good for McD tonight". He may be a bad communicator, and socially awkward, and lacking skills to be successful in situational football, but he doesnt deserve to be the butt of a national joke, or considered a terrorist sympathizer. That said, he's lucky that Toney is such a ***** up because this was a CLASSIC MCD game: jump out to a lead with a hot O. Get conservative. Let them back in. "Keep it close". Then lose it on the last possession.

I've been a fan of Schefter, but I'm done with that dude. Just such over the top pearl clutching about what is really the smallest part of the overall story. Bruschi did ok, identifying it more as McD's issue landing speeches sometimes. He referenced the woman in the river speech as well. Made it more about the overall coaching job than one bad speech. I think Sam did as well.
